Celestial Crown are a band from Estonia that plays a mixture of black, doom, and gothic metal and this is a review of their 2016 album "Rebirth" which was released as a joint effort between Symbol Of Domination Productions and Divenia Music.

Symphonic sounding synths start off the album and also mix in with the heavier sound a few seconds later and you can also hear all of the musical instruments that are present on the recording and the guitar solos and leads are done in a very melodic style while the slow riffing is heavily influenced by doom metal.

Goth style female vocals are a very huge part of the recording while the spoken word parts also have a vampyric edge to them along with black metal screams also being used at times while male clean singing and whispers are also added in some parts of the songs and a couple of the tracks are very long and epic in length.

When the music speeds up a small amount of blast beats can be heard and there is also a brief use of evil laughter and death metal growls and the riffs also bring in a great amount of melody and as the album progresses violins are added onto the recording and some tracks also bring in a small amount of mid paced parts and a later track also introduces clean playing onto the album.

Celestial Crown plays a musical style that takes black, doom and gothic metal and mixes them together to create a sound of their own, the production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover Love, Occultism, Death, and Pain themes.

In my opinion Celestial Crown are a very great sounding mixture of black, doom, and goth metal and if you are a fan of those musical genres, you should check out this band. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Chaos Reigns Over" "Beyond The Horizon" "Reflection In A Mirror" and "Gazing Demise". 8 out of 10.
